Why Hiring a Lawyer Is Critical in Salmonella Lawsuits

Salmonella claims depend on more than a medical diagnosis. Successful cases require proof of where the contamination occurred and who allowed unsafe food to reach consumers. Evidence often disappears quickly, and businesses may deny responsibility without pressure. A Salmonella lawyer plays a critical role by:

• Coordinating with public health agencies and reviewing outbreak data.
• Tracing the contaminated food to a specific restaurant, product, or supplier.
• Preserving evidence such as packaging, receipts, menus, and medical records.
• Working with epidemiologists and medical experts to link your illness to the product.
• Building your claim based on the appropriate legal theory: strict liability, negligence, or breach of warranty.
• Fighting for fair settlement through negotiations or talking the case to trial.

Without legal representation, victims often face delays, denials, or incomplete investigations.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Salmonella Infection

Liability depends on where and how the food contamination occurred. One or more parties may be responsible, including:

Restaurants and Food Service Providers
Liable when food is improperly stored, cooked, or handled, or when cross-contamination occurs.

Food Manufacturers and Distributors
May be held responsible for contaminated packaged foods under product liability laws.

Grocery Stores and Retailers
Can be liable for selling contaminated or recalled food products.

Farms and Suppliers
May be responsible if contamination occurred during growing, harvesting, processing, or transportation.

Identifying all liable parties is essential to securing full compensation.

Colorado Laws That Apply to Salmonella Cases

Colorado law allows victims of foodborne illness to pursue claims under several legal theories:

Strict Product Liability
Under Colorado law, a manufacturer or seller may be liable for selling a product “in a defective condition unreasonably dangerous to the user or consumer” (C.R.S. § 13-21-402). Contaminated food may qualify as a defective product even without proof of negligence.

Negligence
Businesses that fail to follow reasonable food safety practices may be liable if that failure causes illness.

Breach of Implied Warranty
Colorado law recognizes an implied warranty that goods are “fit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are used” (C.R.S. § 4-2-314). Food contaminated with Salmonella may breach this warranty.

Wrongful Death
When a Salmonella infection results in death, surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim. Colorado law permits recovery when a death is caused by “a wrongful act, neglect, or default of another” (C.R.S. § 13-21-202).

Statute of Limitations
Most personal injury claims in Colorado must be filed within two years of the date of injury (C.R.S. § 13-80-102). Wrongful death claims are generally subject to a two-year deadline from the date of death.
